The statement 'interactions of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids help to anchor the protein in the membrane' explains why protein folding is critical. This process is fundamental for the function of transmembrane proteins.

Protein folding refers to the process by which a polypeptide (i.e., a protein) adopts its final tridimensional 3D shape (conformation).

In a protein, some amino acids contain hydrophilic R groups, whereas other amino acids contain hydrophobic R groups.

During protein folding, hydrophobic amino acids are arranged so they can interact with the long chains of the fatty acids in the internal region of the lipid bilayer, whereas hydrophilic amino acids are arranged so they interact with water on the surface of the cell membrane.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

a) avoiding all dairy products containing lactose.

b) taking lactase enzyme tablets when consuming lactose products

e) taking lactase enzyme tablets or avoiding all dairy products

Explanation:

When a baby become 2 to 5 year old the production of most of the lactase stops so the undigested lactose gets into the colon where it acts as substrate for the lactic acid bacteria which produce lactic acid, CO2 and cause painful gas, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, etc.

So for avoiding this problem, lactose-containing dairy products should be avoided by lactose intolerant person or they can take lactase enzymes containing tablets after consuming lactose products because the lactose will be digested by the lactase enzyme which is present in the tablet and no lactose will be remained for lactose fermenting bacteria.
